Pickles are preserved in a solution of salt and acid (usually vinegar). This will corrode common metals which will result in a leaky container and possibly a toxic dose of the metal to the pickles. If your pickle container was made out of gold, platinum or some other very unreactive metal, this wouldn't be a problem, however, this is not usually economically feasible. Hence pickles are commonly stored in plastic containers. Which property of the plastics makes the storage of pickles possible?

Starch and are common polysaccharide carbohydrates found in plants. sucrose glycogen fructose cellulose

Identify one disadvantage to each of the following models of electron configuration: -dot structures -arrow and line diagrams -written electron configurations type in your answer below. (answer) -dot structures do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals and take up a lot of space. -arrow and line diagrams take up a lot of space and make it difficult to count electrons. -written configurations make it easy to lose count of electrons and do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals.
